XSQ file format support

CLC Genomics Workbench supports the XSQ file format

Professor Robert Donnelly and his lab at Rutgers, New Jersey Medical School, are involved in many different projects and they are doing a lot of sequencing on bacterial genomes.

They use the 5500 SOLiD system for most of their large-scale sequencing projects and Donnelly and his staff saves a lot of time being able to import the SOLiD XSQ files directly into CLC Genomics Workbench.

We met Dr. Donnelly at our User Group Meeting in New York and he gave us a few comments on the XSQ file format support.

The XSQ file format support in CLC streamlines one of the big bottlenecks that we’ve had in the analysis of data and the transfer of data from one location to another. We can now just take the files directly from the server and basically skip one entire step that was very time consuming.
